Tom v's narrative theory
The document discusses several narrative theories and their application to teen slasher films. It describes Vladimir Propp's characterization of 8 character types and 31 narrative functions that move stories along. Propp's theory is difficult to apply to teen slashers which lack generic heroes. Claude Levi-Strauss suggested binary oppositions like good/evil drive narratives by creating conflict. This theory can be applied to teen slashers through themes of good vs evil and male vs female. Roland Barthes' concept of enigma codes refers to unexplained narrative elements that create mystery and suspense. In teen slasher films, the identity of the killer is typically the main enigma revealed at the end.

The document discusses several narrative theories and their application to teen slasher films. It describes Vladimir Propp's characterization of 8 character types and 31 narrative functions but notes this theory is difficult to apply to teen slashers, which lack generic heroes. Torodov's narrative structure of equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair and new equilibrium is also challenging to apply as teen slashers don't have happy endings. However, Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions around themes like good vs evil can be easily applied. Additionally, Roland Barthes' idea of enigma codes, where mysteries are unsolved until the end, is clearly demonstrated in films like Scream by the unknown killer's identity.

Typical settings for these genres include a small village, college campus, or house where tension can be built in dark rooms or corners and romantic moments captured in serene places. Common characters are a protagonist female and antagonist male whose conflict drives the thriller plot, along with two lovers for the romance. Iconography in thrillers focuses on location, costumes, makeup and hair to denote characters, while romances use voiceovers, symbolic props, and blending with another genre. Stylistic conventions include quick cuts, shadows, and music for thrillers versus slow motion, voiceovers, and happy endings for romances.
Macho Vs Chick Flick

In macho movies, love typically begins unconsciously under tense situations like fights or survival crises and is demonstrated through passionate embraces or sex after crisis is resolved. Love provides an outlet for physical tension. In chick flicks, love emerges more implicitly through emotional conversations as seen in Something's Gotta Give, where two characters find they have deeper connections. Both genres typically show leading characters falling in love by the end, though chick flicks focus more on the ups and downs of developing a relationship.
